There’s an old saying: if you eat a live frog first thing each morning, you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing that it’s probably the worst thing you’ll do all day. Using “eat that frog” as a metaphor for tackling the most challenging task of your day, the one you are most likely to procrastinate on, but also the one that might have the greatest positive impact on your life, Eat That Frog! shows you how to zero in on these critical tasks and organize your day. You’ll not only get more done faster, but get the right things done.

In his trademark high-energy style, acclaimed speaker and bestselling author Brian Tracy cuts to the core of what is vital to effective personal time management: decision, discipline, and determination. He reminds us: “The purpose of time-management skills, of eating that frog, and getting more done in less time, is to enable you to spend more ‘face time’ with the people you care about, doing the things that give you the greatest amount of joy in life.”

" I procrastinated while reading the book:) Good concept----but too many lists to write. The only thing I use is the Eat that Frog first thing in the morning concept. "

Gizzard | 2/3/2014

" Decent enough book on setting priorities and getting things done. It was very short, about a 2 hour listen. Anyway, I want it to work, it should work. I have too many balls in the air right now, but plan on figuring out a way to make this work for me. VERY SOON. :) "

Marina | 11/11/2011

" A few good tips. Very quick read. Pretty repetetive and even a bit contradictory. "

Karla | 11/8/2011

" I don't really like to read self help books because it is really hard for me to have the motivation to finish them. I did Eat that Frog and finish this one though. It had some really good tips, that I would like to implement. "

Sergey | 6/9/2011

" If you really want to do this work fast you will do so. Time-management solves nothing. Will solves all.
"

Markus | 4/10/2011

" The book is basically about the Pareto principle (80-20 rule), with some tips and tricks how you could incorporate that into your life. Great recap and reminder of that you will never be “finished” with all your tasks and the importance of planning and prioritizing the work.
"

Colin | 3/19/2011

" Nothing really new but a good packaging of motivational ideas.
"

Deborah | 3/18/2011

" Awesome reminders about how to keep a chaotic life in check and end up on the winning side of it all---instead of in a psych ward!
"

" This book just didn't work for me, and I was disappointed. The only valuable thing I took away from it was the acknowledgement that we have too much to do and will never be able to catch up. Other than that, it didn't present any new ideas for beating procrastination.
"

Alexander | 1/26/2011

" I've listened the audio book and it was pretty interesting. But actually all of the advices are obvious, except the creative procrastination, I've never thought about it.
"
